Real Estate

Davisville Village was historically a residential area, mainly comprised of detached homes built during the 1920’s until the 1930’s. They were mainly English Cottage and Edwardian-style homes, built as attractive solid brick structures. A number of semi-detached homes, and apartment buildings also occupy the area, providing alternative and more affordable living options. In recent years, Davisville Village has undergone rapid condominium development, especially along Yonge St. The emergence of high-rise buildings has not only brought more population-density to the area, but has similarly brought with it the emergence of more restaurants, grocery stores, and cafes.
